"my condolences".... what should my answer be?

For every act of kindness or thoughtfulness, written or spoken, a heartfelt

thank you is the best reply you can give.

Thank You For Your Condolences

I don't know too why saying "thank you" is wrong.

When my grandma died and some of my classmates texted me sending their condolences I just replied "Thank you".

I guess that's the appropriate phrase to use.

I don't know why thank you is wrong. That's what I would say. Not saying anything and just nodding would seem kind of silly. Say thank you, I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

I've never sent condolences in a tm or e-mail or chat. I don't see why thank you, spelled out, not TY, wouldn't work.

Condolences Thank You

If saying "Thank You" is taboo, I suppose you can say "Don't mention it."

So sorry to hear that, Pao. My condolences.

My dear, the correct answer is whatever you feel comfortable with.

My condolences to you.

"thank you" is appropriate answer. in fact, the bereaved family should send thank you notes to all those who sent flowers or sent condolences or who gave money.

...everyone understands what you are going through. they really do not expect much but a "thank you" is appropriate by text or email or YIM, when you have the time. it doesn't have to be done rightaway.

so sorry for your loss, Pao. our heartfelt condolences.

Thank you is most apropriate.

You are not thanking the person for the death but are actually thanking them for their thoughts and commisserations.

My condolences go to you and your family.
